Packages (a “Package” exists if you book a

pre-arranged combination of at least two of the

following components when sold or offered for

sale at an inclusive price and when the service

accounting for a signifcant proportion of the

Package) and ATOL protected fights by way of a

bond held by the Civil Aviation Authority under

ATOL number 3141.

Your Financial Protection: when you buy an

ATOL protected fight or fight inclusive holiday

from us you will receive an ATOL Certifcate. This

lists what is fnancially protected, where you can

get information on what this means for you and

who to contact if things go wrong.

We, or the suppliers identifed on your ATOL

Certifcate, will provide you with the services listed

on the ATOL Certifcate (or a suitable alternative).

In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier

are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an

alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the

services you have bought or a suitable alternative

(at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that

in those circumstances the alternative ATOL

holder will perform those obligations and you

agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by

you under your contract to that alternative ATOL

holder. However, you also agree that in some

cases it will not be possible to appoint an

alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be

entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme

(or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identifed on your ATOL

Certifcate, are unable to provide the services

listed (or a suitable alternative, through an

alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons

of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust

may make a payment to (or confer a beneft on)

you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in

return for such a payment or beneft you assign

absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you

have or may have arising out of or relating to the

non-provision of the services, including any claim

against us, the travel agent (or your credit card

issuer where applicable). You also agree that any

such claims may be re-assigned to another body,

if that other body has paid sums you have

claimed under the ATOL scheme.

Not all holiday or travel services offered and

sold by us will be protected by the ATOL scheme.

Protection for all Packages not including fights is

provided by means of a separate trust account in

which all monies paid to us in respect of a

Package will be held until the Package in question

has been completely performed. Non-Package

arrangements and arrangements not booked or

departing from the UK are not protected by these

arrangements.

On certain trips a minimum number of

persons is required for the tour to take place. We

will notify passengers at least 56 days before

departure if a trip is cancelled for this reason. The

applicable deposit (15% unless otherwise stated)

must be paid to us when you book (or if booking

within 56 days of departure, full payment must be

made on booking).

If there are fewer than 12 passengers in your

party, and if you have made your booking more

than 56 days before departure and have paid a

deposit to secure your booking, the balance of the

cost of your arrangements (including any

applicable surcharge) is due not less than 56

days prior to scheduled departure. If there are

12 or more passengers in your party, payments

must be made as follows: 15% of the cost of your

arrangements is payable on booking, a further

35% of such cost (including any applicable

surcharge) is due 90 days before departure

(if your booking is made between 90 and 56 days

before departure).

If your booking is made less than 56 days

before departure, you will be required to pay the

entire cost of your arrangements at the time of

your booking. If we do not receive (in cleared

funds) the balance in full and on time, we reserve

the right to treat your booking as cancelled by

you, in which case cancellation charges will

become payable. Cancellation charges apply in

the event you or any member of your party

cancels a confrmed booking. These charges will

increase the closer to your departure date that

you notify us of a cancellation.

We regret we are unable to offer you any

assistance if you are delayed at the outward or

homeward points of departure. Non-UK passport

holders, including other EU nationals, should
